Jakarta - A recent study has highlighted that excessive screen use through texting, watching videos, or playing video games can trigger manic symptoms in pre-teens.
Quoted from Medical Daily, Sunday (9/3), a large-scale study published in Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology involving 9,243 children aged 10 and 11 years has explained the potential mental health risks of excessive screen use.
The study explores how heavy engagement with social media, video games, texting and video streaming is affecting young people's minds.
To better understand the relationship between screen time and mental health, researchers from the new study analyzed data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study, the largest long-term study of brain development in the United States.
